Soldiers 'kicked Iraqi prisoner'
Updated on 09 November 2009
A former British soldier has admitted for the first time that he saw two of his colleagues kicking and hitting a handcuffed Iraqi prisoner minutes before he died.
Garry Reader told a public inquiry of his belief that Corporal Donald Payne and Private Aaron Cooper caused the death of Baha Mousa.
He described trying in vain to resuscitate Mr Mousa when he found him collapsed shortly after being beaten by the two soldiers in Basra, southern Iraq, in September 2003.
